Hi Reader

​

It's starting to get chilly, even here in Bermuda...🌴 And I'll be honest with you...

Shorter evenings and the holidays creeping closer make it a tad bit harder to stay on track with your health goals this time of year.

​

And it's not just me. The research shows most people gain 1-3 pounds during the fall and holiday season, and most never lose it. Over five years, that's 15 pounds.

​

But here's the good news...

​

The solution might surprise you: less really is more when it comes to sustainable weight loss.

​

For some reason we all love to overcomplicate healthy eating, but from my experience with clients, the most success comes from keeping it as simple as possible.

​

So in this weeks YouTube video I'm sharing five "lazy" habits you can start using right now to fall forward instead of falling behind. 🤸‍♀️

​

For me, the most interesting one was looking at our daily steps. Turns out trying to walk 15,000-20,000 steps a day might not give you the calorie burn you'd expect. Now I'm all for advocating for more movement, but I also want you enjoying life and not spending hours on a treadmill when that time may be better spent with friends and family this time of year.

​

And speaking of simple and sustainable, I'm sharing a ridiculously easy Salmon Rice Bowl recipe below that takes less than 20 minutes to make.

​The Lazy 15-Minute Salmon Rice Bowl​ I originally created this recipe for a client who was eating takeout almost every night and wanted to ease into cooking more at home. This is like a stepping stone meal to home cooking. Now I find myself throwing it together whenever I need a quick lunch! Grab the Salmon Rice Bowl Recipe Here ​
